Benjamin Géza Affleck is an American actor and filmmaker best known for his appearances in film and television. Born on August 15th, 1972, Affleck was born in California but lived in Massachusetts and Cambridge alongside his parents and brother, Casey. His father, Timothy Byers, was an aspiring playwright but his parents eventually separated when Affleck was 11 years old. His mother, Christopher Anne “Chris” Boldt was a Harvard-educated elementary school teacher but thanks to his father, both Affleck brothers were surrounded by arts. He made his big-screen debut as a child actor in 1981 with the film The Dark End of the Street, before moving on to the small screen a few years later.


Affleck's career took off after he and Matt Damon won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for writing Good Will Hunting. The duo also acted in the picture, and Affleck quickly established himself as a leading actor, with major roles in Armageddon, Pearl Harbour, Hollywoodland, and several other films.
